Who is Aniksha Jaisinghani arrested for threatening Amruta Fadnavis?

The police said that they are trying to verify if she is a designer by profession. A police officer said, “We suspect that she was posing to be a designer and is part of a larger conspiracy that she hatched along with her father against Amruta Fadnavis.” As per the complaint, Aniksha had allegedly sent designed clothes and jewellery to Amruta Fadnavis and requested her to wear them in public events. “She had said that it will help her in promoting her brand,” the police said.

On Friday, Aniksha was produced before the court by Mumbai police. The special judge first asked her name in Marathi and then if she had any complaints against the police. As she looked on, unable to understand, a lawyer translated what the court was asking, after which Aniksha told the court that she had no complaints against the police.

During the hearing, Aniksha stood at the back of the courtroom surrounded by women police officers. She stepped forward multiple times to give instructions to her defence lawyer, who was making submissions on her behalf. Anishka’s lawyer told the special court that she is a law student and her exams are currently on.

The police claimed that Aniksha had one previous case against her registered in Goa. Her lawyer told the court that she was granted anticipatory bail and was not named as an accused in the Goa case. Records show that the case related to an FIR filed in 2016 where the complainant had claimed that the accused, including Aniksha’s father, had created false documents in order to foist a false case against him in the backdrop of a civil dispute over property. A sessions court in 2021 had granted her anticipatory bail considering the civil dispute and observed that sufficient evidence was not available to deny her anticipatory bail.

The Bombay High Court’s Goa bench had dismissed an appeal filed by the police against the order in 2021.

Aniksha has also authored the book ‘Reminiscences of Her’ in 2022. She claimed in the book that she was raised by her mother in a nuclear family and has faced many ups and downs throughout her teenage years.
